RETURN
In replace mode, RETIJRN moves the cursor to the left margin of the next line without disturbing the text.
In insert mode, the action depends on where the cursor is on the line:
• If the cursor is at the left margin, RETIJRN creates a null attribute on that line, and all text on that line and lower lines moves down. The cursor remains at the left margin of the newly created null attribute.
• From the middle of a line, REWRN creates a new line and moves the cursor and all text from the cursor to the right end of the line to the new line. Text on lines below moves down.
• If the cursor is beyond the last character on the line, RETURN moves the cursor to the left margin of the next line and creates a null attribute there. Text on lines below moves down.
In either mode, if RETIJRN is held down, the action repeats.

Text is formatted according to the default margins, but is tabbed according to the tab settings in effect when it was input. The first segment (77 columns) of a sample ruler is shown below ..... +L ... l .... T .... 2 .... + .... 3 .... + .... 4 .... + .... S .... + .... 6 .. Z .. + .... 7 .... R ..

The dual cursors are redisplayed; the cursor in the text returns to the character it was on when the command was initiated.
To change the left or right margin, enter the ruler, move the cursor to the desired location, and type L for the left margin or R for the right margin.
The new L or R is inserted, and the old L or R disappears. The L cannot be placed left of column 6, because attribute numbers are displayed on the left side of the screen.
To work with an area wider than your screen, the right margin can be set to a maximum of 240. Press EOL «CTRL-E» to move to the next section of the ruler. The ruler scrolls to the left as an additional section is displayed. The text does not scroll while you are in the ruler. To set your right margin, position your cursor and type R.
